Do you want corporate and dark money out of politics? CAP’s @thmoore.bsky.social is hosting a live Reddit AMA in r/Politics on October 8, at 11:30 am ET to answer your questions about CAP's bold new strategy that states can use to render Citizens United irrelevant: www.reddit.com/r/politics/

Time to tune-in to SCOTUS's oral argument audio because today is Chiles v. Salazar; a case about Colorado's ban on conversion "therapy" for minors. More than 20 states have similar bans--which fall under state powers to regulate medical care. www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

This past term, the Supreme Court undermined one of the most sacred tenets of American democracy—the separation of church and state. Recent rulings have created a system where religion and government are not separate, but instead increasingly intertwined. www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...
How the Supreme Court Is Dismantling the Separation of Church and State
Chief Justice John Roberts’ court is actively eroding the separation of church and state, breaking with centuries of First Amendment jurisprudence.

NEW: The Supreme Court freezes a lower court order reinstating FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, whom Trump illegally fired, by a 6–3 vote. So Slaughter remains terminated.

SCOTUS also schedules arguments to decide whether to overrule Humphrey's Executor. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

No. 25A264 (25-332)

DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, ET AL. v. REBECCA KELLY SLAUGHTER,

ET AL.

ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 22, 2025]

The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE
and by him referred to the Court is granted. The July 17,

2025 order of the United States District Court for the Dis-
trict of Columbia, No. 25–cv–909, ECF Doc. 52, is stayed.

The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of cer-
tiorari before judgment, and the petition is granted. The

parties are directed to brief and argue the following ques-
tions: (1) Whether the statutory removal protections for

members of the Federal Trade Commission violate the sep-
aration of powers and, if so, whether Humphrey’s Executor

v. United States, 295 U. S. 602 (1935), should be overruled.
(2) Whether a federal court may prevent a person’s removal
from public office, either through relief at equity or at law.
The Clerk is directed to establish a briefing schedule that

will allow the case to be argued in the December 2025 ar-
gument session. The stay shall terminate upon the sending

down of the judgment of this Court.

Fifteen years after Citizens United opened the floodgates of corporate and dark political money, the Center for American Progress has figured out how to slam them back shut.

CAP published its groundbreaking how-to report today: "The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant."
The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant
By using their authority to define what corporations are—and what powers they hold—states can end the era of corporate and dark money in U.S. politics.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore the DC metro, but I do find their policy of requiring at least one escalator to be out of order at all times somewhat confusing

The Supreme Court is now insisting that even its unexplained (and thinly explained) grants of emergency relief to the Trump administration are precedents lower courts have to follow.

As today’s “One First” explains, there are two different (but equally problematic) flaws with such an understanding:
169. Emergency Orders as Precedents
Wednesday's ruling in Boyle isn't the first time the Court has given precedential effect to an unsigned order, but it's the first time it tried to explain *why,* for reasons that ... fail to persuade.
